Chapter 27: Temptation
After a stalemate for a while, a middle-aged man came to the room, which was far less tense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The face of the Chinese character, the blonde hair is tied casually at the back of the head.
As soon as he entered, the guards on both sides dodged away.
Who this person is, obviously.
"He cast a spell to prevent mental probing. ”
In Sun Chenghuan's ears, Erin's voice sounded.
Sun Chenghuan nodded silently.
That's the reaction it should be.
You can't just because you don't have time to use magic here.
This is a very careful person.
Be careful, at least you won't be reckless enough to take part in any assassination attempts......
Unless there is a great stake.
But what benefit can he, a city lord, get from this kind of assassination?
"You go out now, from now on, I won't be guarding against his spirit probing magic. Don't let him find any clues about your existence. ”
Sun Chenghuan thought silently in his heart.
"Good. Erin's voice reappeared.
Then, disappear.
"Are you a student at Second Academy?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Yes. Sun Chenghuan nodded.
"You let the director go first, and we'll talk. ”
"I won't let him go until I'm sure you're not involved in this assassination. ”
"I'll order someone to kill him with you. ”
"Then you'll be ruined. Sun Chenghuan smiled, smiling very confidently, "Not only you, but all the people who released the arrows today, it's the same." ”
"It's up to you?" the middle-aged man laughed.
"We can rely on the Xiguan Post Station, let the people of the entire post station obey our command, and rely on dozens of temporary people to resist the five hundred rebel cavalry of the Western Legion with us, do you think it is relying on the face of Princess Yarluo?" Sun Chenghuan still smiled. "The Council of Elders has given us a mandate to act cheaply. Seriously, I'm just going to kill you now, take over as the Lord of Onica City for the time being, and I won't have any major problems afterwards, can you believe it?"
"Oh, where's the power of attorney?"
"How could I possibly carry it with me. Sun Chenghuan shook his head with a smile, "If I take it, in case you are also a member of the rebels, kill me, and then snatch it and destroy ......"
"That's it......" The city lord beckoned, and a group of people came in behind him.
All archers.
"It looks like the city is going to be managed by someone for the time being. Sun Chenghuan also smiled and glanced at the captain of the guards who was there. "After these two people are dead, it's up to you, right?"
"......" The captain of the guards was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head, "And the command of the city guards...... As well as the commander of the Western Corps, which was stationed here. ”
"In this case, then you have to die......" Sun Chenghuan nodded.
"How can you kill so many of us alone?" the city lord laughed ridiculously.
"I rushed into the formation of five hundred cavalry by myself, fought a circle, and then came out again, and ran all the way to here with Eldraine, do you think...... I can't kill you?" Sun Chenghuan also smiled.
"Eldraine?"
"Well, the leader of the rebels. Sun Chenghuan smiled and nodded, "I killed his son." ”
Be quiet.
"Then I don't need to kill you. If you really are a spy, Eldraine will make your life worse than death. The lord laughed and waved at the archers who had just entered.
The archers all left.
Sun Chenghuan smiled.
It looks like you're in control.
In fact, his back was already soaked with sweat.
In case this city lord is really a rebel, he directly orders to shoot arrows and kill himself......
All the blessings and enhanced magic of my current life will not be able to be used, and I will definitely become a hedgehog when the time comes.
"Eldraine definitely doesn't have that chance. Sun Chenghuan smiled and shook his head, "He didn't kill me last night, and he couldn't completely destroy us, he was dead." Now, the commander of the Western Legion has led the team to cut off his head. ”
"Then why don't you wait for everyone else to come and enter the inn together?"
"On the one hand, I want to inform the Astranas, don't be ...... by these things," Sun Chenghuan said, and the knife around the neck of the post director tightened, "The traitors sneak attack, in case they die, our battle will be in vain." On the other hand, if you're all traitors, it's better to kill one of you than to all of you, okay?"
"You're lying. The lord smiled.
"I'm telling the truth. "Sun Chenghuan is very sincere.
"I used mental probing. ”
"I've been casting psychic protection magic for a long time, just like you. Sun Chenghuan shook his head with a smile.
Deadlocked.
"You let him go first, and we'll talk. ”
"If I were you, I'd have someone hold me here, and then I'd go and mobilize all the centurions in the city that could use the magic of psychic probe, and start weeding out all the centurions in Onika City to see how many of them were with this man. Sun Chenghuan didn't mean to give in at all.
"So you're here to inform me, too?"
"Well, if you weren't a traitor and died like this, wouldn't you feel wronged?" Sun Chenghuan nodded.
The city lord looked at the director of the post station, and the words were in his mouth, and then a light flashed in his hand.
Psychic Exploration.
Soon.
"Everybody, get out of this room. The city lord's face changed slightly, and then he pointed to the post station director who was held by Sun Chenghuan's knife and had a face like ashes. "All the people he knew were quarantined. ”
"There are three of them. Sun Chenghuan pointed to the three guards on the side, whose faces were also very pale.
"These three are bundled up. The city lord directly ordered, "Dare to resist and kill." ”
"Yes. The captain of the guard at the post station nodded sadly.
"Hold this building, no one is allowed to come in except me...... Also, have someone inform the mission in Astrana to take precautions......"
"I've already informed you. Sun Chenghuan interjected.
"What you notified, and what I notified, is of a different nature. The city lord glanced at Sun Chenghuan deeply, "Whose son are you?"
"I'm a commoner student at the Second Academy, not a nobleman. Sun Chenghuan answered with a smile, "It's just that both Suowan and Grant listen to me." ”
“...... When today's affair is over, I want to treat you to a meal. When the city lord heard Sun Chenghuan's words, he was stunned, but soon, he concentrated his spirit again.
"If you can mobilize, let the city guard send a group of cavalry to meet Princess Jarro and them. Sun Chenghuan did not answer.
"Why?"
"Break the idea that some people are trapped and beasts are still fighting. Some people...... I thought I had any hope. It can also warn them. ”
"You're actually warning me, aren't you?" the lord laughed.
"Yes. Sun Chenghuan does not deny it.
"Hmm...... Okay, leave it to me, and you can rest here...... If you can't believe me, this director will be held hostage......"
"That's the best...... Who?" the city lord frowned.
I looked around.
A look of nervousness and suspicion.
But all around them, all the mouths were shut.
It is impossible to recite spells, let alone cast spells.
But just ......
Just when he flickered his mind, it seemed that there was another ......
The city lord turned his head in surprise.
Still haven't seen anyone casting spells.
Hell is this?
"What's wrong?" Sun Chenghuan looked strange.
It looks like the castle lord is insane.
As a matter of fact......
He guessed with his toes that the city lord must have sensed that his mental defense magic was being attacked.
As for who did it......
Could it be someone else besides Erin?
This little girl is obviously using simple and crude repetitive spells to break through the mental defense trick to conduct mental exploration.
"Nothing. The city lord still looked suspicious, "Maybe I didn't rest well yesterday, I feel a little weird......" The city lord rubbed his head, "You rest here, I'll leave first." ”
"Good...... By the way, could you please send someone to the place where I was eating, and fetch the little girl who was waiting for me there. ”
"Little girl?"
"Well, her family saved my life last night, and she is my benefactor. ”
“...... Good. The city lord nodded.
Sun Chenghuan mentioned this at this time, obviously meaning to hand over the hostages.
Although this hostage seems a little insincere......
If the city lord really intends to detain Erin as a hostage in exchange with Sun Chenghuan......
Sun Chenghuan will never agree!
Therefore, such a proposal, which means that I already believe in you, is far more important than really asking the city lord to arrange someone to take care of Erin.
Besides, Erin is in this room right now. If the results of her investigation just now were negative, then this sentence still had the effect of paralyzing the enemy. As soon as he leaves, Erin will come to report the results to Sun Chenghuan......
However, when the city lord left, Erin's voice did not ring in Sun Chenghuan's ears.
Obviously, she ran back to the cubicle first.
That means......
"How?"
Ten minutes later.
Erin followed one of the guards in.
Sun Chenghuan asked thoughtlessly.
"It's safe. Erin nodded.
It sounds pretty clueless too.
But the two of them knew very well that Sun Chenghuan was asking Erin how the city lord was, and Erin's answer was that the city lord was a trustworthy person.
But I can't say it directly.
No way, there's an outsider here......
The post director was looking at Sun Chenghuan with hateful eyes.
"I'm curious, if you do this kind of thing, even if you succeed, you have the confidence that you can escape the wrath of the Elders' House?" Sun Chenghuan asked the supervisor with a smile.
Now that he was safe, he now had time to think about other things.
"House of Elders, when did they take care of the army?" snorted the stationmaster.
"Even if the House of Elders can't manage it, are you in the army?" Sun Chenghuan smiled.
"I'm not here, but I can go in. The post director looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, "As long as this thing succeeds, I will become a centurion of the Western Legion." ”
"Centurion ......" Sun Chenghuan laughed.
Shook his head.
With this kind of person, there is nothing to say. This thing really succeeded, and the first people to be killed are those of you who know about it, but it is not under the control of their military!
How did such a person become the director of the station?
